Ingredients
- 16 ounces bow tie pasta (farfalle, save ½ cup pasta water )
- 2 ¼ cups light cream
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth (not reduced sodium)
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup oil packed sun dried tomatoes (drained and diced)
- 1 ½ cups fresh spinach (slightly chopped, or baby spinach)
- ¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ teaspoon salt and black pepper (to taste )
Steps
-
Combine cream, broth, and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente (firm). Reserve ½ cup pasta water and drain pasta well. Do not rinse.
-
While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and Italian seasoning and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Stir the broth mixture and add to the saucepan with sundried tomatoes. Simmer for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low and add bow ties, 3 tablespoons of pasta water, spinach, and parmesan cheese. Cook 2-3 minutes or until sauce has thickened and is heated through, adding more pasta water if needed.
-
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan if desired.
